DeSantis takes aim at China’s influence in Florida
The Capitolist ^ | September 23rd 2022 | Capitolist Staff

Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday issued an executive action and announced legislative proposals aimed at stifling threats posed by the Communist Party of China and other hostile foreign powers in cyberspace, real estate, and academia.

The measures will curtail the intentions of all seven countries on Florida’s list of countries of concern, making it more difficult for China, Cuba, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or Venezuela to engage in espionage or influence operations within Florida’s borders and preventing purchases of agricultural land and lands surrounding military bases by those governments or their agents.

“From server farms to farmland, the Communist Party of China has been worming its way into our nation’s data storage systems and buying up tracts of land near sensitive national security sites,” said DeSantis. “By prohibiting the purchase of lands, state contracts with Chinese technology firms, and the infiltration of CCP-affiliated groups such as Confucius Institutes, Florida is leading the way to protect our nation from international foes.”

“The Chinese Communist Party cheats on trade, steals our intellectual property, and produces deadly drugs like fentanyl that are pouring into our southern border,” said Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez. “Governor DeSantis’ announcements today are not only critical to protecting American interests and Florida farmlands but also to maintaining our national security. Florida will never kowtow to the oppressive regime of China.”

While the Biden Administration and Charlie Crist negotiate policies and lift sanctions on communist countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, and Colombia (which welcome the CCP with open arms), Gov. DeSantis protects Floridians’ freedom and values, and it’s clear that he does not and will not stand for or with communism,”

“Very Presidential.”

Without a doubt. But could Florida afford to lose him? The vacuum created by his leaving for The Swamp could never be filled.

Although he is governor of Florida, he shows the ability to handle national affairs.

Very true.
He needs two terms as Governor DeSantis to set the state party on the right track and deepen the bench with his type of Republican.
Then on to DC.

Don’t get me wrong. DeSantis is a national treasure and should be shared by all. But, he needs to finish his impressive job in FL. 2028 maybe.

Yes, sounds good.
He’s doing great for Florida, and the country, right where he is. He needs to pull a successful 2nd term as Governor before he tries for the Oval Office.
